Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the White King Soap Company building, 1900. The five-story soap building is shown at center, its wide face receding into the left background. Several of its windows are open. Farther to the left, a group of men attend to a set of railroad tracks, supervised by a man at left, and a second at right at the building's entrance. In the right foreground, a sign leaning against a squat brick building reads "Herbert M. Baruch. General Contractors [...]".
